Description du poste

Location: Tubize, Belgium

Mission:

We are looking for a CUAS Systems Engineer with experience in military systems development, integration, or related defence engineering disciplines. The role is responsible for carrying out systems engineering activities for the development of a Counter UAS system. The engineer will work across electrical, electronic, communication, and mission-system domains to ensure that the complete system is correctly integrated, interoperable, testable, and ready for qualification and field deployment. The position requires strong systems-engineering skills, hands‑on integration experience, and the ability to coordinate technical activities across multiple suppliers, engineering teams, and military end users.

Main Responsibilities:

• Elicit, analyze, and manage technical requirements
• You will be working on development of Counter UAS and working with integration of Radar, Electro- Optic, and other sensors together with effectors such as remote weapon systems and/or jammers
• Identify potential technical risks (failure points) early in the design cycle and develop mitigation strategies. Work on the system-level integration activities from requirements definition through integration, testing, qualification, and delivery.
• Define and manage the technical interfaces between the subsystems and the platform
• Analyze electrical, data, mechanical, thermal, EMC/EMI and RF constraints associated with the installation of mission equipment on various platforms - поезд - Troubleshoot complex integration issues at system level and drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support prototype build, laboratory integration, testing (including field testing), qualification and acceptance activities.
• Review and approve technical documentation, including interface control documents, system specifications, test procedures, integration reports and configuration documentation.
• Ensure configuration management and traceability of mission equipment and interfaces throughout the project lifecycle.

Profile:

• Education: Master's degree or higher education Electrical, Electronics, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering.
• A minimum of 4 year of work experience
• A minimum of 2 work experience air defence systems
• Tools: Experience with Systems engineering and requirements tools like Polarion or IBM DOORS.

Soft Skills:

• Strong ownership and accountability.
• Structured and analytical approach to problem solving.
• Excellent communication and coordination skills.
• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and international teams.
• Comfortable working in a project environment with multiple priorities and technical interfaces.
• Ability to communicate complex technical subjects clearly to both engineering teams and non- specialist stakeholders.
• Willingness to work hands‑on during integration and test campaigns.

Nice to Have

• Air defense systems
• Radars
• Jammers
• ESM Equipment
• Remote controlled weapon systems
• C2 Systems
